Conservatories

Orangery

Orangeries offer a slightly different take on traditional conservatories. A KJM orangery is a great way to add conservatory-style light and space to your home. The orangery is basically a traditional, atrium-style conservatory. With an orangery, your adjoining rooms flood with light and there's a feeling of grandeur that comes from the interior height of the orangery.

KJM orangeries, like conservatory styles, are both traditional and contemporary, falling somewhere between conservatory and traditional extension styles. With their brick pillars, orangeries offer more privacy than conservatory styles and the interior height provides a breathtaking focal point through which light floods in to your home.

The orangery has its modern roots in 17th century Holland, when relations between the Dutch and the British were good. The concept, though, may be much older. There are records of buildings similar to orangeries in 14th-century France, and the Romans had built glorified greenhouses many years before that.

Today's orangeries, like conservatory styles, are generally buildings with glazed sides and brick or wood supports. Orangeries use less glass than modern conservatory styles and can look stunning with the addition of sliding sash windows.
